Answer: Saddam Hussein attacked Kuwait, sparking the Persian Gulf War. True.

Explanation:

Saddam Hussein, the dictator of Iraq, focused attention on the Middle East when his army suddenly invaded tiny Kuwait on August 2, 1990. Kuwait had raised its production of oil, contrary to agreements with the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC). The resulting drop in global oil prices offended the Iraqi regime, deep in debt and heavily dependent upon oil revenues. Saddam Hussein was surprised by the backlash his invasion of Kuwait caused.

By January 1991, over thirty nations had joined  Operation Desert Shield. Some nations sent only planes, warships, or support  forces, but sixteen, including ten Islamic countries, committed ground  forces. Desert Shield became Operation Desert Storm when the first allied cruise missiles began to hit Iraq on January 16. On February 28, six weeks after the fighting began, President Bush called  for a cease-fire, the Iraqis accepted, and the shooting ended.

Who enforced the law in 1250 to 1500
Stells [14]

Answer:

`

No proper police force existed before the 16th century. It was the responsibility of the victim and local community to find the criminal themselves. It was expected that communities would be responsible for policing and combatting crime.

10th century

Hywel Dda was a Welsh ruler in the 10th century. He unified most of Wales under his leadership. He also wrote Wales’ first uniform legal system. After the Norman Conquest, the Laws of Hywel Dda continued as the basis of the Welsh legal system.

In 1284 the Statute of Rhuddlan enforced the use of English law for all criminal cases in Wales. However, the Laws of Hywel Dda continued to be used for civil cases until 1540.

By 1500 most of the population still lived in rural communities or small towns. However, the feudal system was in decline and parishes were increasingly used as a way to organise and control local matters rather than the Lord of the Manor.

Although parishes were religious organisations, throughout the 16th century, Tudor Governments gave them increasing powers in local matters. For example, in 1555, parishes were responsible for the upkeep of nearby roads, whilst the 1601 Poor Relief Act (Poor Law) outlined the responsibility of the parish to look after its own poor. Also under the Act, parishioners were appointed by JPs to serve as overseers of the Poor Law for one year.

In the 16th and 17th centuries, individual towns and parishes took greater responsibility for combating crime and policing the nation.

why did George Washington call the congress under the articles of confederation "a shadow without a substance"
NISA [10]
George Washington called the Congress under the Articles of Confederation a "shadow without substance" because under the Articles of Confederation the Congress was given very limited powers. The Articles of Confederation gave most of the power to states and did not give much power to the national government. Therefore although it created national bodies like Congress they were just a shadow because they had very limited powers and not much of an ability to institute any real policies.
